...

This skill book should contain the abilities that the BOSS uses in battle.

It is indeed very powerful.

It's both a crowd control ability and an instant-cast spell. Although it's a bit short for a mage's normal attack range, it's perfect for using as a survival skill.

This is also an elemental magic skill book.

Nine lives is just the right amount to use.

With only him and Su Siyao left, Su Bai stopped hesitating and directly gave the gem to Su Siyao. She hadn't gotten anything good from her two previous visits, so getting a gem would be a way to balance things out.

"This boss kept muttering about 'stopping' and 'forbidden' things, is there some hidden plot?"

Ning Hongchen then spoke.

Su Bai arrived at the morgue, which had been completely thawed, and immediately looked at the spot where Darren had been kneeling. There was only one carpet there in the entire room, and it was still in very good condition.

Lift the carpet.

A gray wooden door, completely out of place with the style of the Lost City, appeared before him.

This wooden door looks quite old, but unlike the surrounding buildings, it has not been eroded and decayed by moldy green moss and remains well preserved. On the contrary, the remaining streaks of gold and red paint on it seem to have succumbed to the passage of time and are no longer intact.

"Based on the description in his weapon's manual, this BOSS must have used his own body to seal off a door leading to something forbidden..."

"What taboo requires a hero-level demon hunter to sacrifice himself to seal it?"

"and..."

Su Bai recalled slightly.

Neither the seven elite frozen corpses nor Darren himself showed any signs of having undergone blood therapy or been infected by the virus.

This indicates that the door was sealed long before the disaster in the Lost City occurred.

It is quite old.

Su Bai tried to reach out and pull the door knocker. At that moment, the remaining gold and red paint marks on the door suddenly emitted a dazzling light, forming a barrier that pushed him far away.

"What kind of thing is being sealed away? It's so powerful!"

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately gathered around.

"I don't know."

"However, the existence that can use this double sealing method must be quite extraordinary."

Su Bai felt that things were getting a bit tricky.

But then I thought about it again.

Even if what's sealed inside is a world-destroying catastrophe, what impact would releasing it have? The situation in this city can't get any worse...

"You all move aside."

Su Bai gestured for everyone to move away.

Then, he raised his greatsword and immediately fired several explosive fireballs.

Bang bang bang!

The power of the seal was immediately activated, spontaneously forming a protective barrier. However, the seal itself had already lost much of its power, and was now powerless to withstand such an intense attack.

With a snap.

The protective barrier quickly shattered into millions of fragments, just like glass.

The wooden door was blasted open.

But the terrifying demon that was imagined did not escape.

Behind the door, there was only a crudely constructed stone staircase that stretched straight down into the dark underground.

With a wave of his hand, Su Bai dispersed the dust and decaying smell emanating from the cellar. He casually tossed a torch down, which quickly landed on the steps, illuminating the still long road ahead. After waiting for a while, no monsters appeared.

"Could it be that it's been sealed for too long, and the thing inside is already dead?"

Nine Lives hesitated.

"...It's not impossible."

Su Bai looked slightly taken aback.

Time in the Lost City does not reset repeatedly like in the Illusory Sea and Sky.

Instead, it continues to pass with the passage of real time.

If it is indeed a monster that was sealed away long before the disaster broke out in the city, it would be a miracle that it has survived until now without food or water.

"I'll go down first, and you can follow me if it's safe."

He said it again.

After saying that, Su Bai lit another torch and walked down the stone steps.

The steps are very long, stretching straight down for over a hundred meters.

We've reached the bottom.

Su Bai first used his detection spell to scan the surrounding dark area.

No blood bar appeared.

Safety.

Within the area illuminated by the firelight, the ground was uneven, and the walls were covered with a thick layer of black substance, as hard as obsidian.

Su Bai held the torch high.

To make the area illuminated by the light wider.

In the darkness, he saw several tall silhouettes. As they drew closer, he realized they were black stone pillars standing in the room. In the firelight, something seemed to faintly emanate from within the deep black crystals...

"...This is?"

After getting a closer look at the shape of the thing, Su Bai frowned.

Inside the crystal column was a mass of writhing flesh covered in eyeballs. The thing seemed to be still alive, turning around and staring at him, which was absolutely chilling.

Su Bai was disgusted, but luckily he had a strong heart and a high tolerance for it.

But then another question came to mind.

"...This black crystal can preserve the activity of biological tissues. The thing that the church sealed away at the cost of its life may still exist."

I just had this idea.

From the depths of the silent darkness came the sound of soft footsteps.
